Music was in the air this week! Our Spring Music Concert showcased the hard work and talents of our students in Band, Strings and Choir. Fort Hunt has the premier instrumental program for elementary students in FCPS with students beginning strings at Grade 3 and band at Grade 4. Thank you parents for all of your support and to our teachers--Ms. Clark, Ms. Davidson, Mr. Bertolotti, Ms. Gray and Mr. McQuillen--for their leadership.

A Message from Ms. Consolla

Our main SOL testing is now complete, and we could not be more proud of our students! They worked incredibly hard and showed tremendous resilience through many hours of testing. Their perseverance, focus, and positive attitudes were truly impressive, and we are so proud of all they accomplished.

Next week, students will be off Monday through Wednesday and will return to school on Thursday, May 28. When students return, classes will continue finishing important end-of-year assessments while also planning many fun and engaging learning opportunities for the final days of school.

Your child’s continued daily attendance remains essential as we work together to finish the year strong. Every day still matters, and we appreciate your support in ensuring students arrive at school ready to learn.

Some parents have asked about end of the year class parties. We do not have them. At Fort Hunt, we will close out the year by celebrating as a community at Field Day with a bar-b-que picnic on Friday, June 12. Parents can participate as registered volunteers.  Information will come out next week about how to sign up for a shift to help out.

Additionally, all library books are due on June 3. Thank you for helping your children search for any stray library books at home so we can get them returned before the end of the school year!

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we finish the school year strong!
